Where does faith reside?
Love and hate rest
together in the heart
Fear abides in the stomach
and on the back of my neck.
But, where does faith reside?
Is it in my mind
mixed with all the knowledge learned?
Does it dwell in my heart
living alongside love and joy and sorrow?
Or anger?
Is it a filter on my eyes,
letting me see what it wants?
Or, is it behind the optic nerve
interpreting the images for me?
Does faith reside somewhere
in my organs
filtering out the impurities of my life?
Is it in my veins or arteries as
a part of the blood stream
flowing from point to point
and leaving small elements of living
wherever they are needed?
Or, does faith reside in
my nervous system
causing me anxiety and pain?
Maybe it is in the spine
keeping me upright
and sending out orders
to my arms and my legs.
What is faith
and where does faith reside?
